The Q if for you have to Question why.
Why would you pay so much for it?
All you need is an extra £30 or £40 and you can have dvd on your Xbox and PS2
Why has it an out of date 80's style?
Looks like some kind of 80's hi-fi it is hideous.
Why does it make the Xbox look like a beauty?
Because the design is so dull.
Why do you need a Gamecube with dvd?
After all Nintendo are only interested purely in games.
Why is it such a big deal that it is multi-region?
Most players can be modified to play other regions anyway.
Why does it not play dvd games.
Because that would make Nintendo look stupid for not going
down the dvd route in the first place.
Why has Nintendo not decided to sell it outside of Japan?
Because of all of the above and they can't sell any at that price in Japan.

I play games on my GameCube, and on my PC. A PIII 866 which to date has handled everything I have thrown at it.
I would like to know exactly what Insane Bartender plays games on.
now that IS a sexy console!
The basic model comes in at a hefty £206 (excluding import taxes) The fully modded version is about £310 (again excluding import taxes).
How much are they.
I want a cube, but my PS2 plays DVD.
I like thye sound of multi region. Is that just the DVDs or the games as well?

it doesn't matter, but it exists because people like you have criticised the cube for not having DVD capacity.
I won't be buying one, and personally think it's overpriced, so few others will get one either.

No, let me set the record straight.
I use DVD for movies, and I think the Q IS a good idea. GC and DVD movie player. I think thats a good combo. If you want a GC, than the Q would be ideal, esp if you didnt have a dvd player (or dont have one in your room).
But. Q is on import only. This will put people of. Then there are those who have said in the past they dont care about dvd and that it doesnt bother them that GC cant play movies. When anyone writes about the Q, you get a flood of people saying that it's better than GC becuase it has DVD. I thought it didn't matter? Now it's a good idea?
Conflict or what.

I do have a GC, and I have 2 DVD players, as stated.
But come to your sense you beligerent fool. First you laugh because the GC can't play DVDs, and then when a GC comes along that can, you laugh still. It's the same with PS2 can play PSOne games, and GC can't hohoho, but when you realise it can play GBA games, you laugh on.
It's hypocritical. And if you have even the sense with which you were born, you would see that.

O, and b4 anyone says the DVD movie feature IS the reason to buy a Q rather than GC (provides GC customers with DVD movies), I thought the idea was that a games console was for just PLAYING GAMES - according to many people on here anyway. So why bother with the Q, just buy the cheaper GC and play movies on VHS tape.
